I'd like to build the world a home 

-8  -8  8  -8   8    -8
and furnish it with love;

Grow apple trees and honey bees

and snow white turtle doves.

Verse 2
I'd like to teach the world to sing 
in perfect harmony;
I'd like to hold it in my arms 
and keep it company.

Verse 3
I'd like to see the world for once 
all standing hand in hand;
And hear them echo through the hills 
for peace throughout the land.

Refrain

 8      8  -9   8  7     
That's the song I hear.  

 7   7    7   -7   7 -8
Let the world sing today

-8 -8   8   9     8  7 -8   7 
A song of peace that echos on 

-6  7 -8   7   -6 7
and never goes away.

                                     
-repeat Verse 3, ending with..

     -8      8   9    6   7
"...peace throughout the land."

(It is my understanding that this song belongs to the
Coca-Cola Organization.  They did have one beautiful
commercial based on the song a few years ago.  Thanks
Coca-Cola!)
